Hi,
Thank you very much for the reply. I was honestly expecting many more replies, as this seems to be a very interesting topic.
We regularly implement laws and policies, and in many cases (like the 8 hour working day), know its history of origin. The question is whether they are still relevant today.
Has anyone experimented on this with shorter working days monitoring its effect on productivity. What about paid leaves uniformity across the layers of the organization.
While understanding legal limitations, the curiosity is regarding experimentation, especially since differentiation is important.
